Wiki- Prezi- Posted in Black Board for information, findings, and supplementary material ---Wiki Address->
BlackBoard- For large group discussion. We will be using the 3 guiding questions below posted on one threads in Blackboard. The intention is that the class will use these questions to post their thoughts on the topic to the whole class.
Overarching Question
What role does leadership play in the impact technology has to influence, reach out and educate students in education?
Guiding Questions
How does leadership (administrators, superintendent, director of technology, etc.) build technological capacity in schools when budgets are restricted?
How does leadership ensure that more technology equals meaningful learning and not just more 'stuff'?
What are the necessary building blocks that need to be in place and how can leadership use them to embrace technology?
Our Wiki Tabs:
Home Page- With a Prezi with our Seminar Information
Key Concepts and Themes- on a wiki tab
Supplementary Resources- on a wiki tab

Key concepts and themes:
Specific behaviour changes - effects on students with consideration of the need for 21st Century skills.
Teacher involvement and training
Admin (ie. principal, technology support, Superintendent/Board’s) influence on schools/teachers from technology integration.
The transformation effect of technology (ie the bigger picture - the bigger impact)
Future Concerns
Our Experiences and Connections to the topic: - Experiences in the classroom- with leadership -How budgets cater to tech purchases - Instructer responses to PD -Training Admin- should be trained in the same stuff as staff -Less profiecint user versus proficient user -PD and growth for the trainer -Benchmarks- what is the baseline that all staff should have
Feedback from Group- Onblack board- 3 guiding questions

Working Outline for our Presentation:
Comic and Wordle--->> introducing topic
Overarching question.
What impact does technology really make in education?
Key concepts and themes:
Admin (ie. principal’s influence on teach/school integrating tech)??
Teacher training??
Instructional Design for students.??
Effect on students
Bigger Impact- integration of technology do's or dont's how does this effect the bigger picture in the end?
Mind Map/ Concept Map, Prezi----> What does the research say- summary of " Data feedback for School Improvement" article and few of the ones from the Alberta link This is the place to put in any resource information from the papers.
Interactive PPT-----> (likely to use Prezi) Feedback from Group- How does the research compare to what is happening in your school divisions? Over Arching Big Question?
Video and other supporting material
Facilitate the Big Question
How do we move forward from what the reasearch says?
Additional Readings for Group to Read ( 3) 1. 2 3.
Salima, I took this from the old page named below and added it here this Thursday evening at 6:20 PM Feb 2. We can remove it when we are done
Week Six Seminar:
See Proposal page.
NEED TO DO: - as of Feb 1, 2012
Additional Readings: (Max 3)
Experiences and Connections to the topics.
Create a Presentation (ie. Prezi, ppt?, webpage, other tools). My preference is Prezi but if you are familiar with SlideRocket or FlipSnack, they work well as you can add images, audio, video, other links, etc. There is also something called SpicyNodes that works well (similar to a mindmapping tool - no pictures in it though) Your thoughts? Prezi's are a tool that I'm still trying to learn, I find it frustrating to use, but it's never a better opportunity that now to use it. I'm a little rusty with prezi's so as long as you are okay helping fix some of my errors lets develop one together.
Create guiding questions for one large group?? or small group discussions
(possibly 3 questions??)I like the one large group question, I actually think we should have one big over arching question and a few smaller ones. Small groups are hard. I like the large group format. Your thoughts?
Seminar Proposal to Patrick a minimum of a week prior to commencing of our seminar- Oooh I didn't see that- great. We should send it by the end of this week. What does he want us to give him? What should it look like? Facilitate Discussions - (take turns responding??) Yes, I agree, or if there is an area one can answer to right away or with more depth they should just go ahead and respond
Post Summary
How do we prepare teachers with the necessary skills to implement technology in their curriculum?
How does technology affect students, both positively and negatively?
How does leadership (administrators, superintendent, director of technology, etc.) build technological capacity in schools when budgets are restricted?
How does leadership ensure that more technology equals meaningful learning and not just more 'stuff'?
What are the necessary building blocks that need to be in place and how can leadership use them to embrace technology?
How do school leaders ensure that there is equal access to technology for all students?
